<span style='color:green'><span style='font-size:8pt;line-height:100%'>So people out there what tripod do you think is the badest meanest<br />most to the book fighting machine there is? and why do you think so.<br />Images could be your own something from a book you read or an <br />illustration created by someone.</span><br />for example:</span><br /><span style='color:red'>Jeff Waynes fighting machine</span><br /><br /> :aliean:

I personaly like lots of different renditions, but i prefer it when a Martian is visable driving the machine. I like retro looking machines.<br /><br />I think that the attachment is my favourite. I love the Jeff Wayne ones but they're never depicted with tenticals, and don't have baskets.<br /><br />for really modern looking machines, then Peter Fusssy - aka Lonesome Crow does it for me.<br /><br />What's your favourite then?

There is something to be said about retro that particular tripod is erie. to say the least.<br />I like the more modern from the 70's like jeff waynes style his tripod design<br />is meen. I have had nightmares with that machine chasing me and ripping apart<br />everything in its way. <br />I have my own rendition I favor as well similar to waynes but with a couple of modifacations. Thi tripod is a drawing I did freehand with ink and then scaned it and converted it to vector finally I added it to photoshop were I did all the artsey stuff to get my illustration. check the link below.<br />but for now here is one I really like its a real working model.<br /><br />

Sorry about those three s's in your name s is near e on the keypad and the e is what i was aiming for.<br /><br />Dropkicker I like your tripod, I think its quite retro really.<br /><br /> <br />I have my own design with a fully visable Martian driving it, but I changed computers before finding this forum and can't scan in my images to show but will soon.<br /><br />I also love the Kevin O'Neal designs from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Volume 2. <br /><br />The legs in the Pendragon trailer look cool.

Thanks!<br />spose your right. I never really thought about it being retro untill now.<br />I have never seen the machine from league of extrodinary gentleman.<br />I will have to check that out. is there a possible link I could go too?<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing your images too.. :aliean:

ok I just saw the Kevin O'neal version<br />freeky Very tripody the wings are a bit much<br />definetly retro. click here to see that tripod-<a href='http://drzeus.best.vwh.net/wotw/other/league1.jpg' target='_blank'>why war of the worlds</a><br /> :aliean: oooooohhlaaaaaaaaa<br /><br />BTW I am very interested in seeing that machine from <br />Pendragon those legs look cool I think as well

What I love most of all about the Kevin O'Neal one is the way you can see the Martian driving it in the hood. The heatray is a box as Wells described, the basket is there and look at all those tenticals.<br />I strongly recomend you buy the graphic novel. It is great, with a fantastic twist on how the Martians die of bacteria. It is very adult, not aimed at kids, as there is a buggery scene in it.<br /><br />

ooooh buggery huh?<br />Where could a fellow like me get that novel?<br />They should make it a cgi movie. what do ya think?<br />One would thank maybe with all those tentacles it might trip or something.<br />I like that the martian can be seen too I wanted to achieve that as well<br />but I didnt think it was that necesary.<br /><br />I do have an image with a martian <br />I designed do you want to see it? :aliean:

WOOOOW!!! Peter you are good what media do you render your art in Very very nice! is stuff in a book or something?

I do all my work in Paint Shop Pro (an excellent program) No my work isn't in any books, although several people on this forum have very kindly said it should be. I do like your scorpion tail fighting machine design , a great idea, wish I'd though of it and of course we want to see your Martian

Just finished a new (albiet quick) render.<br /><br /><a href='http://www.cor_renders.danmattia.net/Renders/Martian_Earth.jpg' target='_blank'>http://www.cor_renders.danmattia.net/Rende...rtian_Earth.jpg</a><br /><br />*WARNING* Extremely big picture...like...really big...widescreen...<br /><br />Everything there is made by me...except the water texture, that came with C4D. I lurve this proggy!<br /><br />(It also shows the Flying Machine...sort of...)

thanks peter here is a pic of the handling machine being serviced the little guy on the right is my martian He is moving the lid from the cyliner out of the way.<br />I would like to have shown you a bigger picture but My mac is toast <br />and that is were my wotw images are. Luckely I have some of my stuff out on the web still. Though the martian is not one of them.<br /><br />Enjoy- :aliean: <br />

BTW these pics I have now are triple copied so the rez really sucks<br />compared to the originals my programs I use are Photoshop CS,<br />Macromedia Freehand 10 a pencil a sharpie and a piece of paper<br />oh my computer and my canon scanner.

<br /><br />BTW I am very interested in seeing that machine from <br />Pendragon those legs look cool I think as well<br />[right][snapback]2526[/snapback][/right]<br />[/quote]<br /><br />We all would mate...

Shame about that, I would like to see a bit more detail. Have you tried taking your old Mac to a computer shop and seeing if they can salvage the data from the hard drive. Or backup your work every now and then, burn it to CD, its a lesson I learned the hard way. :blush: when I get a Picture I'm working on to a certain point, before making any big changes I'll save the image as a new title, that way if I mess the work up I've always got the the previously saved image under the old title, It has saved my neck many times

Flying Machine? Sure thing! <br /><br />(Keeping in the same design scheme with the Tripod.)<br /><br /><a href='http://www.cor_renders.danmattia.net/Renders/MFLM1.jpg' target='_blank'>http://www.cor_renders.danmattia.net/Renders/MFLM1.jpg</a><br /><br />Animated Tripod...um...not really...I gave up on that a while ago...but I got back to it every now and then...

I like your flying machine<br /><br />So this has happened before<br />I just re-installed my OSX opsys<br />and everything came back no biggie<br />the only problem is I barrowed that disc <br />from an old friend and they are no longer around<br />"rrrrrrrrrrr" I will figure something out, I always seem to.<br />If I have too I will redraw that guy. He was easy to design.<br /> :aliean:
